Baby gets high

Chris says: If the subject line sounds offensive to you, you’re reading the wrong blog.  I’m talking about high chairs here. OK, product review alert…alert… As you may know, and we point out often, many items marketed for babies are just frickin’ useless. Just ways to make more money for a company who’d rather you [...]

Goggles, Boggles, and Doggles

A Chuck Rave: This has nothing to do with dudes or diapers. But, hey, it’s Friday, and this thing, item, accouterment, I stumbled across is way too funny not give some props to. So what the hell – Doggles. Doggles are goggles, but for your dog, hence Doggles. Sunglasses on dogs are nothing new, but [...]

A Gift that Will Make Dad Arrogant

A Chuck Rant: Do you ever look at your dad, and think “man, I will NEVER, EVER dress like that!” Dad’s over there sporting the Members Only jacket, shorts pulled up to his nipples, white calf socks, and to top it off, Rock Port walking shoes. How’d he ever get to this sad point? He [...]

Sock fashion show!

Chris says: Man, it is hard to keep socks on babies! We’ve been through several different brands and have found the best we can find in the Gagou Tagou athletic sock.  Do I hear another product review? Man, I need to start getting paid for this! They are so cool, like actual adult socks, have great elastic, fun [...]

Baby Joggers: Are They Worth It?

A Chuck Rant: I used to think baby joggers were a waste of money.  Just another attempt by marketers to have me fork out a few more c-notes for something that would hang around in the garage collecting dust and dog hair.   Well, I’m eating crow now; I use the baby jogger everyday!  If you like [...]

Baby clothing fail

Chris says: If you haven’t checked out FailBlog, do it. It’s hilarious.  This is a classic example of something that might appear on it.  Dudes, as if it isn’t hard enough for us to go and buy baby crap, especially clothes, you see things like this. I caught this at BRU the other day… I know, [...]

“Damn it Jim! It’s a High Chair, Not a Play Pen!”

A Chuck Rant: So, we’re in the market for a high chair. Our shopping criteria seemingly simple: functional, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing. Simple right? Wrong. Functional. They’re functional alright. Blinking lights, built in toys, sirens, fog horns – you name it, they got it. And, they all resemble some massive Captain Kirk-like commander chair. These [...]

Bad Ass Stroller

A Chuck Rant: Dude, if you’re in the market for a baby carrier… uh, carrier-carrier?   What the hell do you call these things?   It’s a stroller frame that you snap your car seat/infant carrier into.    Whatever, let’s go with car seat stroller.    I was fairly content with my rickety, no name,$60 POS (piece o’ shiza).   I didn’t know no betta!   [...]

Oh, Yes. Another Headband!

A Chuck Rant, Chris I don’t expect you to ‘get’ this, given that you have a baby boy.   But, for those of us blessed with baby girls, you’ll love this.  Yeah, I just received my much anticipated headbands this past weekend.   I was so stoked.   Remember in my previous post,  “Heady Headbands” where I discovered this lady [...]

Dudely Diaper Bag

A Chuck rant: Diaper bags for stay at home dads is a touchy subject. Of all the emasculating things – a dude carrying around a diaper bag.   Yeah, pretty lame, “Tito, give me a tissue.”     Dudes, there is hope. With more and more dads staying home to raise the kiddies, companies are beginning to provide products and [...]
